SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 A man has died after a medical emergency at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center, the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Ryan James Postoak, 34, was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m. Friday at the jail, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Another inmate used the cell intercom to alert a deputy that his cellmate \u201cappeared to be experiencing a seizure,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said. Deputies entered the cell and found Postoak unresponsive.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite extensive efforts by both medical staff and first responders, Postoak was pronounced deceased by San Antonio Fire Department medical personnel,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Postoak was booked Thursday on charges of driving while intoxicated and collision involving damage to a vehicle, the sheriff\u2019s office said. At the time of his death, Postoak was housed in a unit designated for inmates receiving detox treatment for withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminarily, it appears the inmate suffered a medical episode compounded by withdrawal symptoms; however, the Bexar County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office will ultimately determine the exact cause and manner of death,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

According to a KSAT Investigates analysis, Postoak is the 10th person who has died at the Bexar County jail since Jan. 1, 2025, and the second death this month.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Castle Hills Police Department is handling the death investigation in accordance with the Sandra Bland Act, the sheriff\u2019s office said. BCSO\u2019s Internal Affairs Unit is conducting a separate, concurrent administrative review.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office said the Texas Commission on Jail Standards has been notified of the death.<\/p>\n
